Controversies After Angkor Tiger supporters threw bottles at the referee in protest of his choice not to award a penalty to their teams against Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng on Matchday 13, they were prohibited from competing at their home stadium. The decision was overturned, however, as Angkor Tiger was permitted to play in their home stadium but spectators were prohibited from attending and the clubs were required to pay a fine.Facebook post
